< Exodus 16 >

1 And they set forward from Elim, and all the multitude of the children of Israel came into the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai: the fifteenth day of the second month, after they came out of the land of Egypt.
Te phoeiah Elim lamloh cet uh tih Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih tah Sin khosoek la pawk uh. Elim laklo neh Sinai laklo te Egypt kho lamloh a thoh uh phoeikah a hla bae hnin hlai nga dongah a phauh.
2 And all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.
Te vaengah Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih te khosoek kah Moses taeng neh Aaron taengah nul khaw nul uh.
3 And the children of Israel said to them: Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat over the flesh pots, and ate bread to the full. Why have you brought us into this desert, that you might destroy all the multitude with famine?
Israel ca rhoek loh amih rhoi te, “BOEIPA kut ah kaimih duek sak ham n'khueh pawt nim ca? Egypt kho ah maeh am dongah mamih n'ngol uh tih kodam la buh ka caak uh vaengah hlangping boeih he khokha neh duek sak ham maco he khosoek la kaimih nang khuen,” a ti uh.
4 And the Lord said to Moses: Behold I will rain bread from heaven for you: let the people go forth, and gather what is sufficient for every day: that I may prove them whether they will walk in my law, or not.
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Kai loh nangmih ham vaan lamkah buh kan tlan sak ne. Pilnam te cet saeh lamtah hnin at ka a rhoeh te amah khohnin ah yoep uh saeh. Ka olkhueng dongah a pongpa neh a pongpa pawt khaw amah ka noem dae eh.
5 But the sixth day let them provide for to bring in: and let it be double to that they were wont to gather every day.
A rhuk hnin dongla a pha vaengah hang khuen te soepsoei uh saeh. Te vaengah tah a hnin, hnin kah a yoep lakah rhaepnit lo saeh,” a ti nah.
6 And Moses and Aaron said to the children of Israel: In the evening you shall know that the Lord hath brought you forth out of the land of Egypt:
Te phoeiah Moses neh Aaron loh Israel ca boeih te, “BOEIPA loh nangmih Egypt kho lamkah n'khuen te hlaemhmah vaengah na ming uh bitni.
7 And in the morning you shall see the glory of the Lord: for he hath heard your murmuring against the Lord: but as for us, what are we, that you mutter against us?
Mincang ah BOEIPA kah thangpomnah te na hmuh uh bal bitni. BOEIPA soah nangmih kah kohuetnah te amah loh a yaak. Tedae kaimih rhoi taengah na nul la na nul uh te kaimih rhoi tah ulae?” a ti nah.
8 And Moses said: In the evening the Lord will give you flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full: for he hath heard your murmurings, with which you have murmured against him, for what are we? your murmuring is not against us, but against the Lord.
Te phoeiah Moses loh, “BOEIPA loh nangmih he hlaem kah caak ham maeh neh mincang ah buh kodam la m'paek ham vaengah na kohuetnah neh amah taengah na nul te BOEIPA loh a yaak coeng. Te dongah kaimih rhoi he ulae? Nangmih kah kohuetnah te kaimih rhoi taengah pawt tih BOEIPA taengah ni na kohuet uh,” a ti nah.
9 Moses also said to Aaron: Say to the whole congregation of the children of Israel: Come before the Lord: for he hath heard your murmuring.
Te phoeiah Moses loh Aaron taengah, “Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih te, 'Nangmih kah kohuetnah te a yaak coeng dongah BOEIPA mikhmuh la na tawn uh laeh,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
10 And when Aaron spoke to all the assembly of the children of Israel, they looked towards the wilderness: and behold the glory of the Lord appeared in a cloud.
Aaron loh Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih te a voek vaengah khosoek la a mael uh hatah BOEIPA thangpomnah te cingmai khuiah tarha tueng uh.
11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
12 I have heard the murmuring of the children of Israel: say to them: In the evening you shall eat flesh, and in the morning you shall have your fill of bread: and you shall know that I am the Lord your God.
Israel ca rhoek kah kohuetnah te ka yaak. Amih te thui pah. 'Hlaem ah maeh na caak uh tih, mincang ah buh na hah uh ni,’ ti nah. Te vaengah kai Yahweh he na Pathen la nan ming uh bitni,” a ti nah.
13 So it came to pass in the evening, that quails coming up, covered the camp: and in the morning, a dew lay round about the camp.
Hlaem a pha tangloeng vaengah tah tanghuem ha pawk tih rhaehhmuen te a thing. Mincang ah rhaehhmuen kaepvai kah buemtui te a khaan a om pah.
14 And when it had covered the face of the earth, it appeared in the wilderness small, and as it were beaten with a pestle, like unto the hoar frost on the ground.
Tedae buemtui kah a khaan a cing nen tah khosoek cirhong ah a kueluek a tham aka yit tarha om tih diklai ah vueltling bangla om.
15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another: Manhu! which signifieth: What is this! for they knew not what it was. And Moses said to them: This is the bread, which the Lord hath given you to eat.
Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek loh a hmuh uh. Te dongah hlang loh a manuca taengah,” Manna la he,” a ti uh. Te te balae ti a ming uh pawt dongah Moses loh amih te, “He kah buh he BOEIPA loh nangmih taengah cakkoi la m'paek coeng.
16 This is the word, that the Lord hath commanded: Let every one gather of it as much as is enough to eat: a gomor for every man, according to the number of your souls that dwell in a tent, so shall you take of it.
He ham he BOEIPA loh ol n'uen coeng. Hlang loh amah caak rhoeh ah rhut saeh. Na hinglu tarhing ah hlangmi pakhat ham kosai pakhat van saeh. Hlang he amah dap ah aka om tarhing ah khuen sak uh,” a ti nah.
17 And the children of Israel did so: and they gathered, one more, another less.
Te te Israel ca rhoek loh a ngai uh van tih baeko baepet lam khaw a rhuh uh.
18 And they measured by the measure of a gomor: neither had he more that had gathered more: nor did he find less that had provided less: but every one had gathered, according to what they were able to eat.
Kosai dongah a loeng uh tih baepet hoei pawt tih baeko lam khaw vaitah pawh. Hlang loh amah caak rhoeh ah a coi uh.
19 And Moses said to them: Let no man leave thereof till the morning.
Te phoeiah Moses loh amih te, “Hlang khat long khaw te te mincang hil la paih boel saeh,” a ti nah.
20 And they hearkened not to him, but some of them left until the morning, and it began to be full of worms, an it putrified, and Moses was angry with them.
Tedae Moses ol te hnatun uh pawt tih hlang rhoek loh te te mincang hil a paih uh. Te vaengah a rhiit a poem pah tih a rhim dongah amih taengah Moses a thintoek.
21 Now every one of them gathered in the morning, as much as might suffice to eat: and after the sun grew hot, it melted.
Te phoeiah tah mincang, mincang bueng ah te te a rhuh uh. Hlang takuem loh amah caak rhoeh ah a rhuh dae khomik a bae vaengah a yut pah.
22 But on the sixth day they gathered twice as much, that is, two gomors every man: and all the rulers of the multitude came, and told Moses.
Hnin rhuk a lo vaengah tah buh te hlang pakhat ham kosai panit a rhaep la a rhuh uh. Te dongah rhaengpuei khoboei boeih tah cet uh tih Moses taengah puen uh.
23 And he said to them: This is what the Lord hath spoken: Tomorrow is the rest of the sabbath sanctified to the Lord. Whatsoever work is to be done, do it: and the meats that are to be dressed, dress them: and whatsoever shall remain, lay it up until the morning.
Te vaengah amih te, “He he BOEIPA loh a thui coeng. Thangvuen tah BOEIPA ham koiyaeh Sabbath cim la om. Te dongah hai koi te hai uh lamtah thong koi te thong uh. A coih boeih te namamih ham rhoe uh lamtah mincang hil tuemkoi la om saeh,” a ti nah.
24 And they did so as Moses had commanded, and it did not putrify, neither was there worm found in it.
Moses loh a uen bangla mincang hil a rhoe uh tangloeng vaengah rhim pawt tih a khuiah a rhit khaw om pawh.
25 And Moses said: Eat it today, because it is the sabbath of the Lord: today it shall not be found in the field.
Te phoeiah Moses loh, “Tihnin ah te te ca uh, Sabbath he BOEIPA kah khohnin ni. Tihnin ah ngawn tah diklai ah te te na hmu uh mahpawh.
26 Gather it six days: but on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord, therefore it shall not be found.
Hnin rhuk khuiah ni te te na rhuh uh eh. Tedae a rhih hnin tah Sabbath coeng tih te vaengah om mahpawh,” a ti nah.
27 And the seventh day came: and some of the people going forth to gather, found none.
Te dongah a rhih hnin a pha vaengah rhuh hamla pilnam te mop uh dae hmu uh pawh.
28 And the Lord said to Moses: How long will you refuse to keep my commandments, and my law?
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh Moses te, “Ka olpaek neh ka olkhueng tuem ham he me hil nim na aal ve?
29 See that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, and for this reason on the sixth day he giveth you a double provision: let each man stay at home, and let none go forth out of his place the seventh day.
BOEIPA loh nangmih taengah Sabbath m'paek te hmu uh. Te dongah a rhuk hnin ah nangmih te hnin hnih caak te m'paek. A rhih hnin ah tah hlang he amah hmuen ah khosa saeh lamtah hlang pakhat khaw amah hmuen lamloh cet boel saeh,” a ti nah.
30 And the people kept the sabbath on the seventh day.
Te dongah pilnam khaw a rhih hnin ah duem van.
31 And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed white, and the taste thereof like to flour with honey.
Te kah ming te Israel imkhui loh manna la a khue. Te te sungsin tii bangla bok tih a tuihlim tah khoitui buhrhawm bangla om.
32 And Moses said: This is the word, which the Lord hath commanded: Fill a gomor of it, and let it be kept unto generations to come hereafter, that they may know the bread, wherewith I fed you in the wilderness, when you were brought forth out of the land of Egypt.
Te phoeiah Moses loh, “He ol he BOEIPA long ni n'uen. Te te kosai a bae la na cadilcahma ham tuemkoi la om saeh. Te daengah ni Egypt kho lamloh nangmih kang khuen vaengkah khosoek ah nangmih buh kan cah te a hmu uh eh,” a ti.
33 And Moses said to Aaron: Take a vessel, and put manna into it, as much as a gomor can hold: and lay it up before the Lord to keep unto your generations,
Te phoeiah Moses loh Aaron te, “Am pakhat lo lamtah manna kosai a bae la pahoi sang. Te te na cadilcahma duela tuemkoi la BOEIPA mikhmuh ah tawn pah,” a ti nah.
34 As the Lord commanded Moses. And Aaron put it in the tabernacle to be kept.
BOEIPA loh Moses taengah a uen bangla tuemkoi ham Aaron te laipainah hmai ah a khueh.
35 And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, till they came to a habitable land: with this meat were they fed, until they reached the borders of the land of Chanaan.
Khosak nah khohmuen la a pawk uh hil kum sawmli khuiah Israel ca rhoek manna te a caak uh. Kanaan khohmuen a bawtnah la a pawk uh hil manna te a caak uh.
36 Now a gomor is the tenth part of an ephi.
Kosai parha te cangnoek khat lo ni.
